About Me

I live in a big old house, with my musical husband Joe. I have, 2 wonderful grown children, 1 dog, 1 granddogger, and 2 cats. Born in SF and adopted at birth by my wonderful family. Raised in a little green house in South Sac where cold, foggy winters were warmed by family and friends and hot summer days were cooled in our doughboy pool. My mom was a creative crafter; ceramics, sewing, and lots of glue and glitter. I lost her in 1987, she inspires me still. My interest in drawing began at age 9, I got a ‘learn to draw’ book from an Aunt for Christmas. I am a visual artist, writer and wanna be musician. Sewing at a very young age, included clothing, dolls and costumes. Photography is a passion; I had a small photo business once called “Take a picture it will last longer”. I‘ve written newsletters, designed CD covers, flyers and brochures. I learned piano as a child, flute as a tween, guitar as a teenager, now I’m taking Ukulele lessons! My creative interests turned just prior to age 50, when I had a crazy urge to paint. I've had a rewarding career as an analyst for CalPERS, I'm now retired, living and loving life and creating art, I hope you enjoy!

My art

My art is whimsical and colorful; I am inspired by the mysteries and marvels of the natural world. Images come from my imagination, wacky sense of humor, the ocean, the moon and watching my hubby play music. More of my art to come, thanks for stopping by!
